Tilapia Tacos Recipe

I absolutely love fish tacos and wanted to create a slimmed-down recipe so I could enjoy them anytime I wanted. I never have any complaints when I serve these for dinner!&mdashJade Peterson, Portland, Oregon

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. In a shallow bowl, whisk egg, milk and pepper sauce. In another shallow bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, cumin and pepper. Dip tilapia in egg mixture, then in cornmeal mixture, patting to help coating adhere. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Drizzle tops with oil. Bake 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Meanwhile, place beans in a small saucepan; heat through over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Serve tilapia in tortillas; top with beans, tomatoes, cabbage, salsa verde and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.Yield: 4 servings.

"This was a great recipe to build from. I made some tweaks either to suit my preferences or because it was what I had on hand. To the egg wash I added Franks Red Hot sauce, garlic powder, coriander and sea salt. To the corn meal mixture I simply added garlic salt and black pepper. I topped the tacos with a cilantro-cabbage slaw (from my friends garden), tomatoes, black olives and my cilantro-lime sour cream sauce, with the option of salsa verde...which I'm a huge fan of!"

"This was an awesome recipe. I bought some tortilla crusted tilapia and baked it instead of making the coating. My husband and daughter loved them. I love that it keeps in line with our conversion to more healthy recipes. Thanks to Jade Peterson from Portland, Oregon for this great recipe."

"This was my first time making fish tacos: they were good. I did make some changes which probably don't keep it quite as slimmed down. I omited the salsa verde (I just don't care for it.) and added cheese and sour cream. Next time I will also add fresh salsa."
